The “So Called” Wetback

He packs his shirts, hat, and adventurous vocation to be,

Six advices, seven pictures, and a thousand memories.

He packs his desire to transform- has not been succeeding,

He cries out to that Cruci ed God that is also bleeding.

Did whatever he had to do, and perforate the border:

The only reason he would break the rules of Law and Order.

The Moon - slips away caused by a cornice without permission,

And others have to prove that they are not in prohibition.

The So Called Wetback is wet from the tears - produced by his eyes,

The Undocumented - has too many burdens and tides.

Fugitive because his name does not appear in the archives,

His only motivation is to keep his eyes on the prize.

There should be a freeway that leads to his house along the shore,

Silence - an approval of pause has been taken since his tour.

They’re born with The Universal Visa, Death then admission,

But for now, The Sky Consul has granted them permission.
